Greetings!
Paddle Canada invites you to attend the 2009 Central Canadian Paddling Symposium on September 25, 26 and 27, 2009 at Madawaska Kanu Centre, Barry's Bay, Ontario.
Under the leadership and expertise of some of Canada's top instructors, our mandate is to help paddlers explore current developments in paddling and to celebrate our Canadian Paddling Heritage. A variety of on-water and classroom sessions will focus on the various paddling disciplines including sea kayaking, river kayaking and canoeing.
We hope you can join us for a weekend of skill development, prefessional instructor development, stories and adventures, entertainment, paddling, news and information and, most importantly, fun.
We look forward to seeing you soon,
Rick Wise
